Logitech Rugged Folio Keyboard Case for iPad (10th gen & A16) with Smart Connector and Durable Spill-Proof Keyboard - Graphite

It is very hard to find a decent, inexpensive, keyboard case these days. In the past my go to brand was INCASE but over the years they ceased making iPhone and iPad cases. ZAGG was my next go-to maker of keyboard cases but from reading reviews it seems their quality has slipped over the years. I recently tried an Otterbox for my new A16 iPad but while it did offer great coverage it was just too bulky for my needs and it had no keyboard case option.Then I found Logitech! I looked through their many different offering of keyboard cases and found one that suited my needs perfectly: Logitech Slim Folio Case. I didn't need a keyboard case with a build in trackpad as I have a Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s which pairs well with this keyboard case. The keyboard case offer full protection on all edges while still offering access to the USB-C port as well as volume and Touch ID button. The iPad connects to the keyboard via the magnetic contacts and holds good. It is a little floppy but not so bad you notice.The case runs off of two CR2032 batteries; so it requires no separate charging. While that might seem like an inconvenience for some I think it's a better option than worrying about charging both my iPad and keyboard case. The keys feel great when typing and the build quality is what you would come to expect from Logitech. Simple and direct and reliable. I love the design and feel it will hold up for the life of my iPad as long as I take good care of it. Nothing is obscured or blocked and the sound quality while is not compromised. The keys are not backlit unfortunately but I do not see that as a problem except if I'm writing in the dark and need to find a function key. However, my last iPad keyboard case wasn't backlit and it managed me fine for over five years.I do recommend this case if you are looking for a quality build keyboard case that costs much less than an Apple brand. I feel this is going keep me happy for a long time and serve me well when I travel.

I am not one to normally write reviews on anything simply because I couldn’t be bothered to do so. But this combo touch drastically changed the way I do work. As a college student I take a MacBook with me to school everyday but the fear of dropping it or getting it stolen has always left me a bit paranoid about taking it around everywhere. It’s also relatively bulky and takes up a majority of desk space. As a previous power user I never considered using an iPad for anything other than movies and light browsing, but at this point 90% of what I do is done easier and faster on iPad than the Mac equivalents. Listening to music, writing essays, doing research on the web is all done better for me since I got the combo touch. And as mentioned previously about the MacBook size, this thing sits nicely on my desks with enough room to write or do any full page assignments without feeling cluttered. I originally ordered a Magic Keyboard folio refurbished but had them cancel on me, out of spite I ordered this one because of next day delivery—I’m normally not a man who goes outside of the apple ecosystem often, but the build quality on this thing is exceptional, it has a premium fabric feel all around and feels nice and sturdy when carrying around, doesn’t feel like I’m going to cause any damage to the iPad if I drop it or hit it against anything. At half the price of the Magic Keyboard folio, why would you get anything over this? The backlit keyboard is a nice touch that the folio also doesn’t come with. If anything, I was wanting the folio for its simple magnetic 2-piece minimalist design, and while the combo touch does feel bulky at times, it doesn’t bother me as much as I’d thought.TLDRGreat for university students; faster than MacBook for 90% of things I do; premium design for the money

The case looks and works great. It’s smoother than I expected (not a bad thing) and the keyboard is super easy to keep clean. The keys are super responsive and the case connected with no issues. The keys are every quiet when typing and I haven’t noticed any issues with battery drain. The kickstand holds up well too.

The Logitech rugged folio keyboard case is well-crafted and securely holds an iPad (A16). The keyboard has a nice tactile feel and includes a comprehensive set of keys similar to those found on a full-size Apple keyboard. The magnetic “latch” securely closes the case and folds out of the way when the case is open. Since the case and keyboard interface through Apple’s Smart Connector, there’s no need to use Bluetooth or charge the case. The fold-out stand is continuously adjustable over 40 degrees and securely holds the iPad at various angles. The case is reinforced at the edges and corners and might protect the iPad if dropped. My only complaint is that the thin plastic “hinge” between the keyboard and iPad is quite flimsy. A rigid hinge would have been much more suitable.Considering its cost, quality, and functionality, this case is a worthwhile investment for those who require a keyboard.
